Figure ID
sh524
Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2018
Rarity
Uncommon. This specific version was only released in one set (76102), making it more sought after than Thor variants from massive sets, though not considered rare in the 'elite' collector sense.
Head
Light flesh tone with dual-sided printing: one side features a determined scowl with light brown facial hair, and the reverse side features blue 'lightning' eyes. Yellow hair piece with a swept-back, textured mold introduced for the Infinity War era.
Torso
Dark blue torso with silver and dark gray armor printing representing his Infinity War tunic. The design includes his signature chest discs (six total) and scale-mail texture. Back printing features continuation of the armor panels. Dark brown arms with light flesh hands.
Legs
Dark blue unprinted legs.
Accessories
Includes a soft fabric red cape. Depending on the set, he is typically paired with the buildable Stormbreaker weapon (consisting of a brown axe handle, silver axe blade, and lightning effects).
Color Scheme
A palette of Dark Blue, Dark Brown, and Red. The dark blue and brown reflect the gritty tone of the Infinity War film compared to the bright blues and silvers of earlier MCU versions.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head and torso. The torso features intricate metallic silver highlights on the chest discs. This figure lacks leg or arm printing, which is typical for standard Marvel sets of this price point.
Variants
sh409 (Thor Ragnarok with helmet), sh410 (Ragnarok gladiator), and sh524 (Infinity War - this version). The Infinity War version is distinct for having both regular eyes and the blue glow eyes without a helmet.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include fraying at the edges of the fabric cape and 'cape-crease' if stored in a box. Check for silver paint rubbing on the torso discs. The light flesh hands can occasionally show stress marks if weapons are pushed too deep into the grip.
Estimated Value
New: $15-$25; Used: $8-$12. Value fluctuates based on the presence of the original Stormbreaker accessory and the condition of the cape.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 76102 'Thor's Weapon Quest' which retailed for $19.99 USD in 2018.
Compatible Sets
76102 Thor's Weapon Quest.
Character Background
Based on Thor's appearance in Avengers: Infinity War. Following the destruction of Mjolnir, Thor travels to Nidavellir with Rocket and Groot to forge Stormbreaker to defeat Thanos.
Design Notes
The blue glowing eyes on the reverse side of the head are a standout feature, representing Thor channeling his god-like power after his awakening in Thor: Ragnarok.
Similar Minifigures
sh624 (Avengers: Endgame Thor), sh407 (Gladiator Thor), and sh170 (Age of Ultron Thor).
Collectibility
High demand for MCU completionists. This specific version is preferred by many because it captures the 'God of Thunder' look without the 'Fat Thor' physique seen in later sets.
History
This figure marked the transition of Thor's LEGO design from the classic long-haired/helmeted look to the modern short-haired MCU aesthetic first introduced with the Ragnarok wave.
Interesting Facts
The hair piece used here was a brand-new mold for 2018 and has since been reused for several other characters, including Captain America in later Avengers sets.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Rocket Raccoon and Teen Groot to recreate the Nidavellir scene. The translucent blue 'lightning' studs should be used around him to accentuate the blue-eye print.
Modification Potential
Excellent. Many fans swap the dark blue legs for printed legs from the Thor: Love and Thunder sets to create a 'Ultimate Infinity War' custom figure.
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate figure that remains the definitive 'Infinity War' Thor. While the lack of leg printing is a minor drawback, the head-print and exclusive torso make it a must-have for Marvel fans.
